The Yang Research Group focuses on developing next-generation soft material systems for deep-tissue implantable therapeutics and biosensing. This research integrates interdisciplinary efforts in multiscale material design and engineering, chemical principles, soft materials mechanics, biological processes, and ultrasound technology. The goal of research is to push the scientific boundary of the fundamental understanding of implant design, mechanics, biological interactions, and the synthesis-property-performance relationship, and the understanding and development will enhance the therapeutic efficacy and implant longevity while reducing complications for diverse implantable therapies, thus improving public health, from bench to bedside, especially for patients living with implanted materials and devices.
